Shaping the sleep of a newborn can be a challengin

Shaping the sleep of a newborn can be a challenging task and a lot of work, and it will take time; So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, concentrate on the first nap as a starting point and then begin to work on the other naps when you feel comfortable doing so.

The first nap of the day is generally the easiest for baby to go down for, so this is a good starting point if you're trying to start some independent sleep habits for baby. Then, if you're finding later naps more difficult in the crib, let yourself take babe out for a long walk in the carrier, to get some rest for babe and a break for you!

Ahhhh yes, when you’re just having a DAY. We’

Ahhhh yes, when you’re just having a DAY. We’ve all been there! But mamas I’m also curious share, what your go-to drink order is ☕️👇🏻

First, what do we mean by Wake, Eat, Play, Sleep?

First, what do we mean by Wake, Eat, Play, Sleep? It means we're feeding when baby wakes for the day, and from each nap, rather than feeding to sleep at the end of each awake period. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wake, Eat, Play, Sleep can:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
a) really encourage full, proper feeds, because your little one is awake and not nodding off without having yet had a proper feed, and⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
b) avoid a strong feed-sleep crutch being created, which can sometimes become problematic when baby exits the newborn stage, navigates the 4 month sleep regression, and begins waking more often (during naps and throughout the night) looking for that crutch. Avoiding the feed-sleep crutch when we can helps baby begin to develop the independent sleep habits that can also lead to longer stretches of sleep at night and more restful naps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, with newborns, it is almost impossible to accomplish this in every scenario, and feeding-to-sleep is of course sometimes going to happen; don't stress! But, again, being as conscious as you can when you can about avoiding that feed-to-sleep crutch really can help with both great nutrition and great sleep!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
